A fantastic show. Intimate. Warm. Crystal clear and respectful. Bumped into the lovely Shelley Short and Tom Brosseau in a pub close by before the show, and shared a burger and chat with them - such lovely people. On stage, Tom was as much the gentleman, and Shelley an angel. They closed the set off stage, unamplified in amongst us. A special, memorable performance and evening.
Stockholm's teen darlings of folk, Taxi Taxi, started off the show with a short but sweet set. They tick all the boxes on paper, but I felt they couldn't quiet deliver. It's probably just me - give them a try. Next up were the unknown (to me) Lay Low from Reykjavík who gave a fabulously effecting performance. There was an enchanting chemistry on set despite, or probably because of the couple minor misteps on stage.

I ask for a round two against the pills! I liked how the pill ladies are on screen during the bridge portion of the song. I guess nothing can stop us music lovers from hearing music. :) [view article]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the use of the tom toms and the harmonics on the guitar. Nice touches. It adds more dimension when appropriate. [view article]
